It's a great way to beat those "cooking blues" and avoid resorting to take away on a night when you're too tired or busy to cook.
One of my favourites for cooking in larger quantities is spaghetti bolognese. It freezes well and it's easy to cook up some pasta and reheat the sauce.
I also find this a good way to stretch my mince as I add heaps of extras to the sauce (vegies, tomatoes, beans, lentils) and we can often get an extra "free" meal.
How convenient is it though?
You don't only need to take into account the cost of the pizza but also any sides you may order, the time taken to decide what you'll have, fuel to pick it up (unless you PAY for home delivery) and wear and tear on your car. Not to mention having to go out into the elements instead of staying in the cosiness of your own home.
Pita Bread Pizzas can be whipped up in minutes, save you money AND are healthier (lower in fat).
Simply keep a packet of pita bread (or any flat bread) in your freezer ready for when you want to make your own pizzas. Top with pasta or pizza sauce (depending on taste), your favourite toppings and some grated cheese.
It's so quick and easy, you can even get the kids to do it. Or everyone can make their own, putting their favourite toppings on top.
